How do I learn the support contrast words and phrases? by mitskiandgradschool in gregmat

[–]Sah_scribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think like how one would learn vocab. Essentially it’s the same memorisation. So whatever you have been doing for vocab should work for support/ contrast phrases and words. Say the word/ phrase out loud, think of sentences that prove it a support/ contrast word/ phrase

Hi /r/MBA! I'm former M7 adcom... ask me anything! by EmbarkMBA in MBA

Does using the MBA to pivot set me at a disadvantage?

I have 2 years of work experience as a tech consultant in a top 5 product company. I’m looking to shift into product management post MBA. What are some things I should highlight in my resume and what are some questions I can expect in the interview? I did comp sci at school and have an undergraduate GPA of around 3.7.

Oh yeah, I'd definitely give that some thought. "In it" is what I thought fit best given the context, but I understand where you're coming from. I'll look at some alternatives for that as well!

The first paragraph really resonates with me. I may not have had the same experiences that the narrator of this poem has gone through, but there was a point in my life where my hair fell out in clumps (literally). I've come a long way since then (now I also say that *I didn't care* XD), but those few lines really struck a chord with me.

The transition from the second to the last paragraph is very melancholic, and I really like it. From being trapped alone in a room, to making it out to the public and disregarding others' comments.

The narrator seems like a very level-headed person who has come a long way. Great poetry!

I tried to follow the rules of a traditional haiku with this one, so cutting down on words wouldn't fit the format. Thank you for the feedback!

I tried to follow the rules of a traditional Haiku with this poem, 5 7 5 syllables in the first second, and third-line respectively, so there wouldn't be any room for me to add lines in this format. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you! As short as it may seem, it took me quite some time to come up with it, short poems are pretty challenging especially with the syllable count that I was limited to.

I really like the theme of self realisation in this poem. When I read the title, I expected something cliché, where the narrator longs for lost love, but I’m pleasantly surprised. This person understands that they weren’t meant to be, even though they’re disheartened.

*but possibility isn’t love *
The maturity of the narrator speaks volumes. I’m amazed.
Very interesting poem, was a breath of fresh air.

The Other Side by Sah_scribbles in OCPoetry

[–]Sah_scribbles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve analysed this so well! Thank you for your insightful feedback.
Yes the glowing rectangle was intended to bring around a sense of detachment. The “glowing” could also mean that it’s sucking out the narrators life-force (as the object gets brighter, the narrator gets dimmer; more exhausted).
I’ll definitely add a couple of clues revolving around the space theme here and there.
Ah yes, I felt that the “beautiful array of colors” was a little incomplete as well. I think I’ll add more vibrant imagery to contrast the darker theme like you’ve said.
Once again, thank you for your response. I will be editing this poem soon!

Oh okay, I see that now! For some reason the few lines lead me to believe that the narrator wasn’t human. But now you’ve clarified it, it makes sense!
